THE BRAND-NEW HEART-WARMING CHRISTMAS NOVEL FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!This Christmas, one magical date could change everything... Sage Madison has always kept Christmas simple - store-bought cookies, a fake tree, and no time for romance. But when her sister needs help, Sage unexpectedly finds herself caring for her five-year-old nephew, Ricky, and suddenly the holidays look very different. Determined to give Ricky the magical Christmas he deserves, Sage enlists the help of her best friend Erica - and Ethan, her handsome colleague, who agrees to play Santa in exchange for one thing: a date with Sage. As festive sparks fly with ice skating, baking, and late-night hot chocolates, Sage starts to wonder if Ethan might just be the best gift she never expected. But with her old life pulling her in another direction, can she risk opening her heart - or will she let her chance at happiness slip away?Heart-warming, romantic, and full of holiday sparkle, A Date With Santa is the perfect festive read for fans of Sarah Morgan, Trisha Ashley, and Phillipa Ashley.
